【題目】In our increasingly fast-paced world, most adults do not get the 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Things are even worse for those with young children. A recent study showed that about 26% of parents in the United Kingdom get less than 5 hours of sleep every night. To make tired adults relax for a while, David Lloyd Clubs, a chain of gyms and fitness centers in the UK, has introduced a napping (小睡) class is called “Nap-Ercise”.

As the name suggests, the hour-long group class, as a way to “reinvigorate (使再振作) the mind and improve moods”, does not have any exercise. Instead, clients (顧客) are guided through 15 minutes of light stretching (拉伸) to help them relax. Then, they are encouraged to cuddle (依偎) under the blankets of a comfortable bed, cover their eyes with an eye mask, and take a nap for 45 minutes. With music playing and the room set to the perfect temperature, clients can have the best possible sleep. The class is currently being offered at just one place. If popular, they will be given to more other David Lloyd Clubs.

Although the class sounds like a marketing plan, there might be some science behind it. According to a study done at the Allegheny College in Pennsylvania, participants who took a 45-minute nap in the middle of their day not only help them feel well-rested, but also deal with stress better than those who didn’t. And a different study from the University of California at Berkeley showed that a 45-minute nap in the middle of the day helps to improve learning abilities.

1The purpose of offering the napping class is to _________.

A. give the tired people a chance to relax

B. give the homeless people a room to take a nap

C. help the people who aren’t able to sleep fall asleep

D. let people make more friends in the napping class

2What does the last passage talk about?

A. Some studies about the napping class.

B. The advantages of taking a nap.

C. Something that should be noticed during a nap.

D. How long people should spend taking a nap.

3Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. More than a quarter of adults in the UK sleep less than 5 hours.

B. A napping class will last for about an hour.

C. The class only offers blankets, a bed, and relaxing music to clients.

D. There will be the napping class in more David Lloyd Clubs.

4What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Group napping classes for tired clients.

B. Why people need to take a nap.

C. The different ideas about taking a nap.

D. The science behind taking a nap.

【解析】

本文主要是一個(gè)俱樂部為宣傳俱樂部的課程,而講述了中午小睡的重要性,雖然是一則廣告,但是科學(xué)證明中午小睡的確很重要。

1根據(jù)文中To make tired adults relax for a while, David Lloyd Clubs, a chain of gyms and fitness centers in the UK, has introduced a napping (小睡) class is called “Nap-Ercise”.可知David Lloyd Clubs提出小睡的目的是讓勞累的成年人能有稍許的放松,故選A。

2根據(jù)本段According to a study done at the…..以及And a different study from the University of California at Berkeley showed that….可知本段主要是講關(guān)于小睡課程的研究,故選A。

3根據(jù)文中第一段A recent study showed that about 26% of parents in the United Kingdom get less than 5 hours of sleep every night.可知A選項(xiàng)正確;根據(jù)文中描述顧客需要先做15分鐘的拉伸,然后45分鐘的小睡,所以大約1個(gè)小時(shí),故B正確。根據(jù)文中cover their eyes with an eye mask,可知除了選項(xiàng)C中提到的物品還有眼罩,故C不正確;根據(jù)The class is currently being offered at just one place. If popular, they will be given to more other David Lloyd Clubs.可知,如果這種課程受人們歡迎的話,將會(huì)有更多這樣的俱樂部,故D正確。綜上所述,故選C。

4閱讀整篇文章是戴維勞埃德俱樂部為宣傳自己剛剛開設(shè)的課程,打的一則廣告,本課程是針對(duì)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間工作比較疲憊的成年人,所以文章題目要緊扣作者目的,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)故選A。

本文是一則廣告,第2小題和第4小題都屬于主旨大意題,我們不僅僅要總結(jié)段落或文章主題,而且還要明白作者的寫作意圖,例如第4小題,雖然本篇文章主要說明了中午小睡的必要性和科學(xué)依據(jù),但是作者目的是為了宣傳俱樂部的課程,故選A。

【題目】Once there was an English prince called Henry. He liked to study languages, but smiles never came on his face. His father, the king tried to make him happy in every possible way. Yet the young prince was not happy.

One day the king had an interview with a man named Sir Arthur. Sir Arthur told the king, “I have a method to make Prince Henry happy, but you have to send him to the countryside”. At first, the king refused. But Sir Arthur insisted on taking the prince to the country. Finally, the king agreed.

Prince Henry and Sir Arthur went to Sir Arthur’s house. His big yard was divided into two parts— inside yard and outside yard, and the outside yard was a big garden with a flowerbed. Sir Arthur told Henry, “Do you know my flowerbed can talk, and it has a secret?” The prince thought it very strange. Sir Arthur went on, “It tells the secret only to those who watch it every day. If you learn the secret, you will be happy.”

Prince Henry looked, but there was no flower, not even a leaf upon it. Then he circled the flowerbed every day. Even when a storm came, he didn’t go inside, so he caught a cold.

Many days passed. The flowerbed was wet, and the warm sun shone upon it. At last, one fine morning, he saw tiny plants coming up.

3What can we learn from the passage?
